This show for me is a departure from what I was always taught, that those that commit suicide are destined to be separated from God for this sin. The church has changed its opinion on this and leaves the final judgement to God. Suicide is such a terrible thing for all involved, There are no winners when suicide is involved. If you are thinking about it please don’t. Help is available, please reach out, please!

In this episode Fr. Chris Alar joins me to talk about his book “After Suicide”.

Service to others is the greatest form of evangelization.  Praying with them is, helping them to bear their cross. It is what we as Catholics are called to do. I am reminded of the example of Simon of Cyrene. How he helped our Blessed Lord up that hill helping him to bear that unbearable load. After meeting my guest Michael Renner I have a better understanding of what service to my neighbor means.

Vocations, vocations, vocations! So often we get prayer request for vocations, and justifiably so, we need to always pray for an increase in the priesthood.

Joining me along the way to discuss the role of a Deacon not only in the parish but in the diocese is Deacon Ben LoCasto.

One thing that I love about our church is that it has something beautiful for everyone. But with Pope Francis forbidding the Traditional Latin Mass in his recent Moto Proprio I wondered why. Then I saw a meme that said “Stay Calm and celebrate the Latin Mass” . I was so confused I wanted some clarification so I reached out to the memes author, Father Gabriel Burke.

In this year of St. Joseph, devotions have certainly increased to patron of the universal church. This is a great thing!

Many of the greatest personal stories of people returning back to the church contain a story of confession. Some go many years without having the weight of sin lifted off of them and the effect of sin goes beyond just an interior deterioration but making us feel removed from family and community. Though it is identified by the church as the sacrament of reconciliation it is a restoration to the state of grace and proof of a God that loves so much that he wants us to hear his words loud and clear “You are forgiven… go in peace”
